Good Afternoon PS 770 Families

It is August! Can you believe it?

We were awarded a CASA grant again for some free after school programming with Marquis Studios that will occur in the winter and the spring. Last year we used this for circus arts, hip hop, photography, and mask making. We are so excited to receive this honor again.

Families are welcome to start dropping off school supplies in our main office starting August 27th (between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM). There will be bins to place supplies off for your child's grade. This way we are not dealing with long lines to sign in on the first day of school. You can also ship your school supplies to the school if you are using Amazon (and select PS 770 for Amazing Smile) starting August 27th. Please make sure packages do not arrive prior to August 27th. The shipment should be marked with the grade/name of class.

Pre K and K parents, you may bring your supplies on August 30th during the orientation.

All supplies are communal so you don't need to label the individual supplies. Please just label the bag that you bring the supplies in with your child's name and grade so we can make sure it gets to the right teacher.

Benjamin Banneker First GradeSunday, August 5, 10am-noon Splash Pad at Lakeside, wear bathing suits, bring a towel, and prepare for sun. We would be meeting on the side with the grass on the same side as the cafe alongside the water area.

We still need some parent/student volunteers on August 27th to help us move furniture and belongings to our new module and around our current modules. We can use your help from 9:00-11:00 AM.

We hope you are having a great summer!
